We seem to forgotten the original premise of our Constitution: Individual responsibility and obligations, replacing these with group consequences that reached the absurd with a single mother on “Entitlements” giving birth to eight rather unhealthy children. As Entitlements are now reported to exceed all the money raised by taxes in the US on all our industries and citizens, we need some way to curb what has become “victim entitlement”. The easiest way to do thois is to say we are all exacxtly the same, namely, American citizens and we earned our right to citizenship. We are going to hgave to do something like this to overcome the scientific reality of the Genome DNA mapping of racial types, namely Black, Whate and Asian, with most of us a mixture of many types. You want hiring preference as a Black have your DNA traced to prove you are more than 50% Black or you want preference as a “Native American” prove you aren’t a mixture of White and Asian with a dash of Black. We are a nation of hybrids and in some ways this is really fortunate because we are not susceptible to some diseases that must affect the purer strains. So let us get rid of absurd quotas unless we all want to prove our with our DNA we are entitled. Therefore, I think we should consider the following Constituitional Amendment:

THE CITIZENSHIP AMENDMENT

            The survival of the United States as a democratic society requires its citizens be responsible individuals who have prepared themselves to be contributing members. Therefore, the awarding of “Birthright Citizenship” is prohibited. Additionally, all citizens will demonstrate spoken and written proficiency in English and will be citizens of only the United States.

            All persons born or naturalized in the United States whose parents are citizens and who are subject to the jurisdiction thereof are candidates for citizenship, but no one under eighteen may enjoy the privileges of United States citizenship and no law or directive can bestow citizenship to any group or individual on the basis of race, religion, ethnic background, political persuasion, compassionate desire or need. There are no special categories of citizenship and every citizen enjoys exactly the same rights, duties, responsibilities and obligations with the exception of the right to own private property and the right to be rewarded for their labors and creative efforts.

            Entering the United States without the permission of those charged with enforcing the nation’s immigration laws is a felony and any group or individual assisting in this illegal activity is guilty of immigration fraud, a felony. As those entering the United States illegally are not under the jurisdiction of appropriate authorities, they, their dependents and/or relatives are not eligible for either citizenship candidacy or citizenship. This re-emphasizes the exclusion of those illegally in this country and their children as is currently stated in the 14th Amendment.

            All candidates for citizenship must pass a qualifying test, or achieve a specific level of education or become a contributing member of society under a uniform set of rules that apply equally to all candidates. Candidates must also have served a period of time, normally two years, in some capacity that improves the nation or be willing to defend or have defended the country against its enemies—foreign and domestic. No citizen may belong to any organization whose actions and ideals are in conflict with American constitutional government as it relates to responsible actions by individuals. All citizens and candidates are required to pay those taxes levied to keep government functioning, but no activity of government supported by these taxes may erode those attributes of individual character necessary for a democracy to function and prosper.

            Only those who are citizens may vote in state and federal elections, and those voting must present proof of citizenship, proof of residency and be allowed to cast their ballot in secret at an appropriate polling place. Every voter must attest in writing at the time of voting that they have not voted elsewhere, and except under unusual circumstances individuals may not vote in absentia. For every citizen who votes, the county of residence will be reimbursed a minimum amount by the credit card company contracted by government to verify this citizen’s single vote and residency.

            The intent of the Third Amendment was to prohibit citizens from being taxed for activities without their specific approval, therefore, no law, directive or activity by government may relieve an individual of responsibilities nor shift consequences from that individual for poor decisions they made as an individual. In addition no group, no individual, no association of individuals and no division of government may transfer consequences from the individual to others in American society without the consent of those assuming these consequences, except that on a temporary basis, not to exceed five years, elected representative may approve such a shift as a non-renewable emergency.
